CBC ABC Stereotype

So while reading some Hong Kong entertainment news articles (magazines, whatnot), I came across several misinterpretations of CBCs and ABCs... the conclusion is:

If you like to dress liberally, like to show off your body, opened to kissing strangers, smoking, swearing, extremely liberal, spend a large amount of your "free time" going clubbing, then... You must be CBC or ABC.

(CBC = Canadian Born Chinese, ABC = American Born Chinese, etc)

However, that is simply not true... That isn't even true for Caucasians either...just because a Chinese girl likes to hug and kiss other girls or guys, this doesn't make them ABC, CBC.. she's just... her.

Here I want to clarify a few things...

1. we are not wild... we do not all like to go crazy...
2. we don't all swear, e.g. we don't say f*ck, sh*t, etc all the time
3. we do not smoke... (we care about our health too... ok?)
4. We don't go clubbing and partying all the time, I have a bunch of CBC, ABC, Caucasian friends, who have not ever gone clubbing.... Ever!
5. We do not randomly kiss and hug strangers (we do hug/kiss some of our close friends and relatives.. notice I said "SOME" and for most... that's hardly...)
6. We do not get drunk and go out of control... nor do we enjoy doing so...

SERIOUSLY... We can be very conserve, and most importantly, dressing provocatively doesn't make you CBC, ABC... (for those in HK... LKF is not every CBC, ABC, BBC's dream hangout place...)

Wait for my post on how "Caucasians" view us Chinese (CBC, ABC, etc) over here! (link will be posted here)

(please excuse any grammatical errors... I wrote this out of frustration... didn't even proofread it)
